Apple’s iOS 10 comes with a range of new features, one of those is an updated version of Apple Maps with a new design and new features.
The guys over at MacRumors have put together a video showing some of the new features in the updated Apple Maps in iOS 10, have a look at the video below.
Enhanced Navigation and Traffic Information
Some of the new features in the updated version of Apple Maps include enhanced traffic information en route and a dynamic view that lets you zoom in on current traffic. This feature is particularly useful for daily commuters and travelers who need real-time updates on traffic conditions. The dynamic view adjusts automatically based on your speed and location, providing a more intuitive navigation experience.
Another significant addition is the ability to see traffic lights and stop signs on your route, which can help in making more informed driving decisions. This feature aims to reduce the chances of sudden stops and improve overall driving safety.
New Parking and Location Features
One of the standout features is the new parking reminder. Apple Maps will now remember your location when you park your car, making it easier to find your vehicle later. This is especially useful in large parking lots or unfamiliar areas. The app will automatically drop a pin at your car’s location, and you can even add notes or photos to help you remember exactly where you parked.
Additionally, Apple Maps now integrates with other apps to provide more comprehensive information. For example, you can make restaurant reservations through OpenTable directly within the app or book a ride with Uber without leaving Apple Maps. This level of integration aims to make Apple Maps a one-stop solution for all your navigation and travel needs.
Improved Search and Recommendations
The search functionality in Apple Maps has also seen significant improvements. The app now offers more accurate and relevant search results, thanks to enhanced algorithms and data integration. You can search for specific types of businesses, such as “coffee shops” or “gas stations,” and get a list of nearby options along with user reviews and ratings.
Apple Maps also provides proactive suggestions based on your habits and routines. For instance, if you frequently visit a particular gym or grocery store, the app will start suggesting these locations at relevant times. This feature aims to make your daily navigation more efficient and personalized.
Public Transit and Flyover Enhancements
Public transit information has been expanded to include more cities and more detailed schedules. This is a boon for urban dwellers who rely on public transportation for their daily commute. The app now provides real-time updates on bus and train schedules, including delays and cancellations.
The Flyover feature, which offers 3D views of major cities, has also been enhanced. The imagery is now more detailed and covers more locations, providing a virtual tour experience that can be both educational and entertaining.
All of these new features and more are coming to Apple’s Maps software with the release of iOS 10. Apple has said that the software will be released this fall.
We are expecting iOS 10 to land sometime in September along with the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. As soon as we get some more details about the exact release date, we will let you guys know.
